50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather's petty beef refuses to end.
During Mayweather's Saturday boxing match, he was bitten on the hand by challenger Marcos Maidana. Mayweather ended up winning the fight, but the story of the night was Maidana's chomp.
On Sunday, 50 decided to poke fun at Mayweather and posted a version of the "Charlie Bit Me" YouTube sensation that swept the Internet years ago.
Check it out here:
The pair's social media squabble has been non-stop since 50 decided to run Floyd through the ringer for reasons officially unknown. Making fun of Mayweather's supposed illiteracy, 50 challenged him to read childrens' books on live television multiple times.
After the Internet took that and ran with it (one radio station even provided evidence of Mayweather's reading problems), the boxer fought back with mathematics and directed 50 images of two humongous checks.
From there, they kept on barking without showing much bite.
Last week, the rivalry was obtusely kindled when a song by 50's mentor Eminem — "Guts Over Fear" — was used in Mayweather's Showtime ad promoted the Maidana fight.
Em revealed "Guts Over Fear" in late August as part of the trailer for Denzel Washington's film The Equalizer. The ad kicked off a massive marketing campaign for Shady Records' 15th anniversary release, Shady XV, coming in November.
While Showtime's use of the song makes sense (the title has "jock jam" written all over it), it's even more notable thanks to the social media beef that Mayweather and 50 have created over the past month.
How long will this go on? No one knows, but a squabble that was petty and immature to begin with seems to only become more so with every passing week.
